<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Verdana">We don't allow
staff to do "volunteer" hours for our library district.
According to our lawyer, it's too rife for abuse and potentially
opens you up for lawsuits. For instance, you could imagine
scenarios where an unscrupulous manager "requires" volunteer
hours or an unscrupulous ex-employee sues claiming that s/he was
required to do volunteer hours rather than being paid.<br>
<br>
That being said, I sometimes have to remind my staff that they
actually do need to put all of the hours they worked on their
timesheets. it's nice to have dedicated folks!<br>
